Atea finally has a plan of escape!
But where to...?
Thanks for the favourites and follows!
"So how exactly am I going to get home?" Atea asked Thor, even though she knew the answer. There was an awkward silence between them that she wanted to end.
"I will bring you to the Bifrost, and you will be brought to Midgard again."
"Why now?"
"Some Midgardians came in contact with me, asking me to bring you back."
"That's not possible. Loki said he wiped out everyone's memories who had met me. I don't exist technically."
"If Loki did that, then it is impossible, but maybe these Midgardians never formally met you." Thor was thinking aloud.
"We'll just have to wait and see I guess."
They made their way across the Rainbow Bridge on horseback, although these horses were different from the ones on Earth; they had six legs instead of four. It helped though, getting the across the bridge much faster than walking. Soon, they were meeting Heimdell, the guardian of the Bifrost.
"Heimdell, this girl needs to be brought back to Midgard. She was kidnapped by Loki."
Heimdell nodded, and Thor looked at Atea, "You will be doing this alone. Just stand there and think of where you want to go." Thor lead her to where she had to stand.
"Just think? That's all?" Atea wasn't so sure about this.
Thor nodded, "Good luck Atea. I will make sure my brother restores everyone's memories, so you won't be alone any longer."
Atea rushed up and hugged Thor, he was obviously surprised, but soon enough he wrapped her in his arms, "Thank you," she told him.
"Thank you, for helping my brother."
What did I do?
Atea turned back and stepped onto the centre of the Bifrost, thinking about home. She could feel the Bifrost working and before home was the only thing on her mind, she thought one last thought;
Goodbye, Loki.
Atea coughed and looked around. Wait a minute... This isn't my house! She was right, there was no street or houses around. Just grey cement walls.
Where am I? Get me out of here! I thought about my home, I really did. Why didn't this work?
Atea was in shock, her body quivering and she could barely hold back her tears. Why isn't anything going the way I want it to?
"Miss Eriksen," A voice called her name, no one was around her, so she guessed there must be some sort of PA system in the room. "please wait one moment for the Director to meet you."
"Where am I?" she shouted, "Who are you? I just want to go home!"
A door opened and a man with dark skin and a long black jacket stepped into the room.
"Miss Eriksen, I am Director Nick Fury of SHIELD. You probably haven't heard of us before. You're here because right now, you don't technically exist on this planet anymore. No one except us know who you are."
The last line sounded too familiar, and she remembered when Loki had said almost the exact same thing.
"Why am I here? When can I go home?" There were too many questions to ask, but she just didn't have the strength to ask them.
"Your questions will be answered soon, come with me."
Atea followed Director Fury reluctantly. They stepped out of the grey room, and into a hallway made with the same dull cement.
"Nice decor," Atea thought out loud, "does everything look like this?"
Fury obviously didn't appreciate sarcasm.
"No, only the holding cells."
Ooookay, so small talk isn't his thing, Atea thought.
They arrived at a door, leading to a large, open room. The room was buzzing with people. They were all on computers, reporting stuff or something.
This almost seems like some sort of... ship or plane. Oh no. The front of the room was covered with windows, and when Atea looked through them, she saw blue sky and clouds.
"Oh my god," She gasped, "Are we in the air?" She'd never flown before.
"We're on the SHIELD helicarrier. It's our temporary HQ. Agent Hill!" Fury shouted to an officer, "We have Atea Eriksen. Please show her to her room."
The agent turned around and walked towards them. She looked at Fury, then smiled at Atea.
"Nice to meet you Atea, I'm agent Maria Hill."
"You too."
They walked to her room in silence, then Agent Hill said, "the Director will be questioning you in thirty minutes, so if I were you, I'd prepare myself mentally. He isn't soft, and I don't think he's ever even talked to someone your age. Good luck."
"Thanks," Atea said gratefully. Hill nodded with a smile and turned out the door.
What does she mean, prepare myself mentally? I guess I should just remember what happened in the last three days.
The room was small, with a single bed against the wall and a door leading to a bathroom. Atea lay down on the bed, thinking about her adventure. That's when she blacked out.
Loki let go of Odin's grasp, falling into space. He fell for what seemed like hours, until he was caught by a hooded man-like creature. Loki told him of what his family had done, what he really was. A Frost Giant. Loki was beyond furious, worse than Atea had ever seen him. The hooded creature smiled, pleased. Atea's vision turned black, then returned, but the scene was different.
Loki was being tortured. The hooded creature brought fire too close to Loki, causing him to scream in pain and fury. The creature laughed, repeating the action. Atea's vision faded, then returned again.
A man with a red face was talking to Loki, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. The creature handed Loki a sceptre with a glowing blue stone in it. That's the one he had in my first dream! Atea thought. Loki looked worse than ever, his face pale and there were scorch marks around his face. He was sweating and his eyes looked sunken and hollow. But his grin was the worst. It was pure evil.
Atea woke up, panting. What had she just seen?
Just a quick explanation.
I personally think Loki was tortured by Thanos, so I decided to add that to my story.
